I'd prefer not having to delay or accelerate my grow patterns to suit the moon, as sound technique trumps voodoo and supposition. Relying on the moon phases, without sound technique...you still get the same ratio of failures. I am curious tho...is cannabis a Libra or a Virgo...? Are Indica's and Sativa's the same sign...? And isn't there some magical month when the moon suits planting cannabis better than during the other 11 months? Are there any incantations we shoud be reciting during the planting, to assure potency, disease resistance and mega-growth...? Should we face mecca...? Do we adjust for longitude and latitude of our garden, or for where the strains originated, under a pyramid pointed north?

It's kinda funny...you show a desire to recieve respect for from others for posting this, yet you seem to have little respect for dissenting opinions. Since it's you saying the technique you use is sound, it is incumbant uopn you to provide the proof. As I can not find anything scientific supporting your claims, my opinion remains unchanged.

Don't like my opinion? Then prove me wrong, and show scientific proof. (others are of course welcome to help you find this info...)

p.s. nobody has told you that you shouldn't post. If you are a bit touchy, I apologize for challenging this 'technique', but this, of course, won't keep me from poking fun at the folklore. :jointsmile:
I don't crave respect nor have I shown disrespect to other's opinions. I have repeatedly stated I posted this with a desire to help others. You have confused horoscopes with lunar planting. They are not related.

Today people often reject the notion of moon gardening. The usual nonbeliever is not a scientist, but the city dweller who has never had any real contact with nature and no experience of natural rhythms.

Does the moon have any effect on the earth? I guess you are right Rusty, it has no effect at all.

I care not if you agree with my opinions or not, nor do I care if you challenge my techniques. It is rather comical to read comments such as what sign is this plant, mecca, voodoo etc. Have fun at my expense all you like. I don't need to or want to change your opinions.

If your methods of growing suit your needs, great. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. This thread was intended for those looking for an extra edge in germinating and could in no way hurt or hinder anything.
